The pelican Van went on a drive-about ....		...with the Blue Goose spreading the Centennial message
By this time Lori, Patti and Doris had us organized and the displays went up in short order		The Friends of the Dunes had tables with information about native plants
The Dunes Mobile		These folks love the Snowy Plovers, Least Terns and other denizens of the dunes.
Kids learned about Sand Dunes...		... and had many questions.
The Blue Goose was popular with kids of all ages, John Wilks channeled the spirit of the Blue Goose with élan and grace.		One real plus of this expedition was meeting folks along the Caravan Route that share our vision and hopes for the next Century of Conservation, we hope it will be a Century of Restoration
The dunes are windswept and in constant motion		The Friends of the Dunes were in evidence everywhere and were instrumental in the planning and creation of the refuge.
Wear goggles when you visit the dunes, the wind blown sand goes everywhere; found sand in my pockets after visiting the spot for only 30 minutes.		The edges of the dunes were fringed with wildflowers...
and more wildflowers....		beauty is everywhere...
Refuge Manager Chris Barr and Caravaner~Refuge Manager Mike Mitchell compare notes on the Oso Flaco Dunes Boardwalk		Thousands of swallows feed on insects and rest on the cattails at Lago Oso Flaco.
